The Botanical Rooms at The Newt

Located within the country estate of The Newt in Somerset, The Botanical Rooms restaurant is a window on the house's Georgian heritage. It comprises of two spaces - the immersive Glass Room, filled with orange trees and shrubbery, and the intimate Oak Room, the original billiards room of the house, with dried botanicals from Babylonstoren and leather banquette seating. 

Harking back to a true country house kitchen, menus are dictated by the gardeners, and the chefs create the menu around produce planted and harvested by the gardeners, using the ingredients in exciting and unconventional ways. Guests enjoy shared small plates as the Georgians did, or feast on whole meals and vegetables cooked on a unique grill, fired with wood from the Estate. 

The Newt in Somerset is a working country estate. It incorporates farmland, orchards, formal and productive gardens, restaurants, farm shops, ancient woodland, and a Cyder Press & Cellar - all open to the public. Within the grounds lies Hadspen House and its Stable Yard; a country home that has been loved and lived in for centuries, now a luxury hotel and spa.
